Desktop pets are so back, baby!

In the early 2000s computers could do anything. They could bring you to webrings of increasingly niche fansites. They could calculate directions to Pizza Hut on MapQuest or deliver you answers to important questions from a guy named Jeeves. They could even house little virtual pets who would scamper across your monitor while you surfed…

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater system requirements are here, and it’s yet another game that requires an RTX graphics card and tonnes of free storage to play

From our early thoughts with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, it seems to be a near shot-for-shot remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 but much prettier. The first Metal Gear game in Unreal Engine 5, the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater system requirements show the hotly anticipated remake is one of a few…

Two Point Museum review

Two Point Studios has really cornered the niche market of taking a straight-laced concept and contorting it into something completely unserious, yet I was still taken aback by just how excellently crafted Two Point Museum is. It’s a fantastic evolution on its last two games, Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, easily being the…

‘How do I know which fire is hot’: Marvel Rivals players are finding it too hard to distinguish between friendly and dangerous Human Torch flames

The Thing and the Human Torch are both finally in Marvel Rivals, and with their addition comes a whole host of new skills and abilities to be terrified of.

After a year-long effort to get a QD-OLED monitor to burn in, one tester’s results are better than you might expect but not quite perfect

Burn-in, it’s the final frontier for OLED technology. Fix that, and we can all ditch our LCD panels, right? Well, according to one year-long test, we’re tantalisingly close to that outcome, but not quite there. Monitors Unboxed has posted its one-year follow up of the MSI MPG 321URX, the very same model we tested last…

Corsair Vengeance DDR5-8400 CUDIMM review

In recent years, it’s become common knowledge that Intel’s CPUs run nicely with highly overclocked RAM, such as DDR5-7200. Not every chip does, of course, as it’s not just about the processor, but having the right motherboard and RAM combination. Going much faster than 7,000 MT/s typically required buying special ‘hand-picked’ RAM modules and having…

The Logitech G PowerPlay charging mouse pad was my baby, but I’m a little disappointed after seeing the second version just announced

When I was first bestowed a Logitech G PowerPlay mouse pad I was sceptical, but I very soon realised its ability to keep my mouse charged without me having to lift a finger was a significant quality-of-life boost. PowerPlay never really caught on, though, and that’s probably thanks to its ginormous price tag ($120 MSRP)….
